Add items to a Windows patch policy using the Object ID

The method for adding items to Windows Patch Policies has changed in order to prevent duplicate KB errors. SA identifies Windows hotfixes by the Object ID, now, instead of the KB number. This enables you to be more selective about the patches you add to the policy. However, it also means that when you select a patch of a certain KB number, SA will not automatically select all the other patches with that KB number—you must select them individually or use shift-click to multi-select items.
